Self-described as "just a man with a pan … cooking whatever I can," Bussanich has dedicated his Instagram account to turning fast-food orders into fried bits of insanity—from Taco Bell poppers to deep-fried pizza rolls. Most recently he sliced a McDonald's cheeseburger into bits, covered it in breadcrumbs, and then threw it into the fryer. The results are a horribly decadent, yet somehow totally hunger-inducing snack.

But why, you ask? Well to that we say, why not? First of all, this is history. It's the world's first burger-fry. And it's not like a Mickey D's burger is getting that much more unhealthy. If anything, it's probably getting a little boost of flavor from both the hot oil and seasoned batter. Plus, just look at that gooey cheese oozing from its crispy, breaded shell. If we've swayed you on the idea of these heavenly fries, watch the video to see how it's done:

Bussanich has also branched out from the fryer, crafting a bacon-wrapped Big Mac and a nacho burger from Denny's. And now he's even got McFish fries—with tartar sauce for dipping. Gotta keep a good thing going, right?
